Picotto Knights, An Online Action RPG For Vita, May Be Heading To The West

Aww… look at that wizard and dude with a giant chakram. Behind the cute costumes, Picotto Knights from Game Arts and NHN Hangame is an action RPG meets a beat ’em up. After you create a custom knight you can master one of the game’s eight weapons. Then join your Vita owning buddies either through Wi-Fi or 3G to fight dragons together. Picotto Knights will be available on September 20 on Japan’s PlayStation Store. It’s a free to play game with additional items you can buy for real world money.

GungHo and NHN haven’t announced if they will bring Picotto Knights to North America or Europe, but it looks like they’re planning to. GungHo filed a trademark for Picotto Knights in the US trademark database. Perhaps, an announcement will be made at Tokyo Game Show since the game will launch during the event?

It certainly is cute and looks fun. I’m sure the Vita will take anything at this point.

This is looking pretty sweet. GungHo’s been consistently awesome in their output this year, so this should be good.

It looks really nice. I love the music, too. If this comes to the West I would see it having TONS of downloads seeing the lack of ‘free game’ competition on the Vita (Treasure of Montezuma Blitz and what else? Zen Pinball 2, which isn’t even completely free? Yeah, no competition.).

This gives me a Dragonica vibe. Played that for 6 months then got bored. Hopefully i’ll last longer with this Picotto Knights :D
